Chelsea are aiming for a victory that would lift them into the top four, but they have been unable to beat West Ham United in the last three meetings.
Team news
Chelsea have reported no new injuries but head coach Maurizio Sarri says he will rotate his players to keep them fresh for the season run-in.
West Ham have been boosted by the return to training of Felipe Anderson, Samir Nasri and Ryan Fredericks.
Andy Carroll, Jack Wilshere (both ankle), Andriy Yarmolenko (leg), Carlos Sanchez and Winston Reid (both knee) are long-term absentees.
